1987 Honda CBR1000F 1.0L Petrol · D496 NRJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in July 2024 at 53,123 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests either a clerical error or a minor item that was rectified immediately prior to the re-test. Since 2018, the motorcycle has maintained a clean record without any recorded mechanical failures or structural advisories. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a 39-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,362 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between September 2018 and August 2020, where the vehicle covered only 1,272 miles over two years. This low mileage suggests the bike has sat stationary for long periods, which often presents different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. The consistent progression from 51,064 miles in 2018 to 53,123 miles confirms a trend of infrequent operation. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components prone to degradation during long periods of inactivity. Check the rubber elements, specifically perished fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals, which can crack or perish without use. The buyer should also inspect for seized brake calipers and surface corrosion on the discs, as low mileage often prevents component cleaning. Given the age of the Honda, a thorough check of the frame for structural integrity and swingarm corrosion is essential to ensure hidden rust has not compromised the chassis.
